How to transfer a .m file in another folder

Hello everyone!

I've got one simple question (yet I struggle to get through it) : I'm working with .m files that requires themselves others .m files functions to work. So, everything is in a folder A and it's working great. But if I create a folder B inside of A, and put every scripts on B, it doesn't work anymore. And yes, I've changed the "current folder" to B before starting those scripts. I can't find any solutions to this problem. I'd be grateful if someone could help! :)

Thanks in advance!

Add folder B to the MATLAB path. You will not need to cd to there.

Thanks for the answer! But how do I add it to the MATLAB path? Is there a function I should be using?

The search path is simply a list of directories where MATLAB will look for functions:https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/what-is-the-matlab-search-path.html

You can add directories to the search path using the interactive tools from the main menu:

or using addpath:
